Woo Hoo! Had a good day with all 3 dogs. I posted earlier this week about the problems we've been having introducing Rhett to his big brother (Sam) and sister (Zoe). Today, out of desperation, I decided to take all 3 on a walk. Dh took Sam, my daughter took Rhett and I took my trouble maker, Zoe. We managed to walk for over 30 minutes without a single incident. There was a little jockying for 'lead dog', but no growling, snapping or anything else. At the end of the walk, I took the muzzle off Zoe and all 3 shared a bowl of water at the same time. Rhett even followed Zoe around to stay under her shade :) Now I have 3 very sleepy pups this afternoon. Can't wait to go again tomorrow. |
That must be a relief. It does take a bit of time for them to get used to each other. I had a few probs with Meika last year when I brought Kayla and Karlee home (actually they were so small she probably thought they were rats, haha). After a week of separation, and watching, it smoothed out and they all became buddies. |
We brought home Morgan's "sister" yesterday and they are absolutely in love!! Morgan is only 6-months old though and Emily is 12 weeks old. They met right away and took the 2-hr drive home together - next to each other the whole way. Now they have been playing all day and every once in a while, they collapse and take a nap and then wake up and start all over again. I'm in complete shock that they get along this well already. They are even able to walk together. It might have to do with their different temperaments. Morgan (our Yorkie-Westie) is more high strung, while Emily (our Westie-Shih Tzu) is more laid back. Morgan is very gentle with her though and even lets Emily climb on top of her while they are playing. I couldn't be a happier Mommy! Yea for your good day - and yea for many more to come!!! |
Awesome! I think that's the BEST way to introduce dogs in a nice 'pack' walk. |
Group outings are fun anyway. Glad it worked out so well for you!:) |
